more parallels between Saw and Hotline Miami:
instructions to do bad things via anonymous tape recordings
animal masks
two people are given conflicting directions by their tapes (i.e. told to kill each other)
“is it ok to hurt people for a good reason? what counts as a good reason?” is debated by characters / the story at large
bonus - parallels in the sequel(s):
copycat crimes
a Detective kills in the style of the famous wanted killer to solve his own crime and be seen as a hero
in-universe Fans of the og events end up becoming directly involved
chronologically out of order events - lots of pre-first-installment flashbacks
